SOMO Living®

One planet. One place.

Sonoma Mountain Village is a 200-acre, mixed-use, solar-powered, zero-waste community under development by Codding. One of the greenest neighborhoods in the world, Sonoma Mountain Village is the first North American community, and only the fourth in the world, endorsed by the prestigious international One Planet Communities program.

By merging the latest technologies with the best of old-world neighborhood design and deeply sustainable services, SOMO Living® offers a lifestyle full of choices for a healthier, happier way of life. The entire community will live well—and within Earth’s natural resources.

In 2011, the community plan earned the highest rating-Platinum-from the prestigious US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Developments (LEED-ND) for the neighborhood design. In 2008, Sonoma Mountain Village was awarded California’s highest, most-prestigious environmental honor—the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award (GEELA) as a model for comprehensive land use planning.

SOMO Living® supports a five-minute lifestyle, with parks, shopping, services and a town square all within a short walk of homes and businesses. Community programs, such as a car and bike sharing, walking school buses, neighborhood electric vehicle shuttles, car charging stations, community gardening and a daily farmers’ market, create a culture that supports quality lifestyles.

Although the economy precludes buidling new single family homes now, positioning for that eventuality continues. Currently, feasibility studies are underway for a number of cutting-edge condominiums in existing space.
